Real Living Network Services

by Maureen McCabe on November 11, 2009

Real Living Inc. is a Columbus Ohio company.

Real Living’s “expansion unit” (Real Living Network Services) was bought by a company called Brookfield Residential Property Services. Real Living just became five times larger… “expansion unit” comes from the title of a Columbus Business First article.

We (Real Living HER agents) got an email (with the press release) last night and a voice mail.

I work for Real Living HER. That is the company formerly known as HER Realtors. HER Realtors has been a leader in Central Ohio real estate for decades. Real Living HER is the number one real estate company in Central Ohio.

Real Living formed in 2002 is based in Columbus. The “expansion unit” part of Real Living is Real Living Network Services.

“The deal, consummated this month and announced today, merges Real Living’s 2,000 agents in 130 offices with approximately 8,000 GMAC Real Estate agents in 470 U.S. offices. It creates a company with $20 billion in annual real-estate transactions. About 8,000 of GMAC’s 13,000 agents in the United States and Canada are expected to become part of Real Living.”

What’s the effect for buyers and sellers in Central Ohio? Not much, you’ve already got the good stuff available.
